What is the main setting in the novel, Virals?

Virals is set entirely in South Carolina. The story opens on Morris Island where Tory Brennan now lives with her father Kit. About forty people live in the small community on Morris Island - all employees of the LIRI Research Institute and their families. Tory spent most of her life in Pennsylvania, but when her mother is killed by a drunk driver, there is nowhere else to go. The LIRI Institute is located on Loggerhead Island, where it is the only existing structure. Tory and the other kids from Morris Island go to school at Bolton Preparatory Academy. When Tory and her friends go to Loggerhead Island to look for the resident wolf-dog family, they uncover the body of Katherine Heaton. In an effort to find the person who killed her, Tory and her friends investigate at the library, and talk to Katherine's best friend Abby, learning that Katherine kept a journal. Tory finds this journal in the floor of the old lighthouse, and in it she learns the reason that Katherine lost her life. In a battle of greed vs the environment, the environment had lost.
